[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60053] package: dependency may also be octave itself.

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #60053 (project octave):

I'm not sure how you come to the conclusion that `OCTAVE_VERSION` is a
variable:

>> which OCTAVE_VERSION
'OCTAVE_VERSION' is a built-in function from the file
libinterp/corefcn/defaults.cc


Maybe you created a variable with the same name? You can shadow any function
with a variable of the same name:

>> version
ans = 6.1.90
>> version = 'Hello World';
>> version
version = Hello World


The documentation also is correct in stating that `version()` (without input
arguments!) is just an alias for `OCTAVE_VERSION`.
